An author mentioned the publication as a resource on current global regulatory policy when he was
on a panel at a program at UC Berkeley in May 2018 (https://pges.berkeley.edu/). He also made the
publication available to the American Seed Trade Association.
A reviewer “heard that several persons referenced the report in their comments made to U.S.
regulatory agencies as these agencies are reviewing their regulations.”
An author said the dean of her college has used this publication to advertise their faculty.

[Libertarians for GMOs]: "The scientific community is overwhelmingly positive about biotech plant breeding
and the benefits for farmers, consumers, and the environment. But the authors of this paper demonstrate that the
current process-based U.S. biotechnology regulatory system is a barrier to such agricultural innovation. The
regulatory system needs to be adjusted, or "public, academic, and small business entities will continue to be
frustrated in using these safe tools to deliver useful products."
